great news,
the coordinators husband came into town to visit and asked a simple question:
how are things going, i usually check in to see what ideas, or proposals volunteers have?
should i tell him this huge concept id though of for hours on end the past few weeks? i was so intimidated but how could i not say it out loud when id been dreaming it and here he was asking. so i said it. i layed my idea out there. "i want to buy land and create an educational permaculture farm for the community and feed the kids w/it" before i could say more he said "follow me"
he led me outside and there i was on the hill where he said he wanted to build a 2story hut w/an upper room for watchin the sunrise "and doing yoga" i added. "ill do it with you" he said....but dont buy land, you can have this land.
i wanted someone to pinch me, was he serious...oh yes he was. we talked completely committed for the next half hour and then the following week where we layed out the ideas and concepts of the farm. we were both on the same thought process of creating a community sustained farm and building a beautiful new hut. amazingly the hut he described was the near exact replica of a dream home i had drawn 3yrs ago when i was in eugene. i am now convinced the universe is on my side more than ever.
thankyou father sun, mother earth, moon child, and ancestrial stars for guiding our paths in unicen.
tomorrow i find out details about costs and we begin the paperwork and fun raising.
also i leave the village in 3 days and we are going to purchase a huge rainwater catchment tank for the kids so they wont need to drink gross lake water anymore. please help donate online. $1=1 liter...we want at least a 500liter tank. thanks soo much all!!
